will be ash blonde through to fair or light brown. You will have been a child with white blonde, fair or light brown hair although it is likely to have now darkened a little - the overall effect is cool and ashy.

There is
often a small amount of red in your hair and it's better to play this down otherwise your skin can look sallow.

Your eyes:

will
be light blue, blue grey, green grey, slate blue, even hazel - all
softly greyed down - you may have a slightly darker rim around the iris.

Your skin tone:

is fair to porcelain, ivory through to a medium beige, but always with a blue undertone giving a pink tinge to your complexion. You
are likely to flush or blush easily. Avoid a true beige foundation, it
will 'flatten' your coloring, instead select a color with a slight pink
undertone - ask at the cosmetic counter if you need help.

Create Color Balance with your natural coloring...

A plethora of beautiful flowers from an English summer country garden - mauves, blues, violets, pinks! These pretty tones can be far too soft for many people but you need this gentleness otherwise your delicate natural coloring could be overpowered.

Although your colors are COOL, they are the gentlest and the softest of the COOL palette. Light and gentle does not mean pastel just that all the shades have a lightness of pigment.

The soft berry shades and sea green are deeper than you might expect but the effect is subtle and almost sultry. Your neutral tones of grey and navy denote professionalism just as much as heavier tones on a deeper coloring.

SUMMER is a blend of Light Cool and Muted

SUMMER celebrities

Your most flattering colors:

are Cool i.e. they have blue undertones

every shade of blue from pastel through to navy blue is wonderful for you

the prettiest of pinks, soft berry and soft fuchsia

the softest sea green and the lightest of clear red

not all Light colors just Light pigments (not heavily saturated) to balance with your own natural coloring

soft white rather than pure white which is too clinical for you

Your best neutrals:

rose beige through beautiful cocoa to rose brown

light blue grey and silver grey through to grey navy; all soft dusty shades that will provide the perfect foil for your light pretty tones.

Summer celebrities

What to avoid:

any color that has a Yellow (Warm) undertone; yellow, orange, tan and mustard, any gingery browns

Bright sharp greens, warm salmon or coral pinks

Heavy dull colors and earthy tones

If
you must wear a color that's not flattering (or you really like them and why not) team them with a prettier color near to your face
which will soften the effect. A soft white can be introduced to make
things work; a scarf near to your face, a collar over a jacket silver or
white pearls earrings will introduce Cooler tones.

Black
is very heavy on your and will drain color from your face. If you must
wear it aim for a slightly lower neckline and introduce some beautiful
white pearls to bring softness to your face. Midnight blue is a great
substitute.

Your skin and eyes are always clearer
when you are wearing complimentary tones and any blemishes will be
minimized. A natural bloom will return to your cheeks and the right
make-up will only enhance this even more.

How to bring your Color Swatch to life...

Holding
your brand new color swatch in your hand is exciting - but the next
thought is often panic as you wonder what on earth you're going to do
with it.

It
can be really difficult to visualize how all the beautiful color shades
will actually transform themselves into an outfit and find their way
into your wardrobe!

If
you've been analyzed as a Light Summer, a Cool Summer or a Soft summer then you may not be a true SUMMER at all and the color palette is
likely to be diluted.
